SUO: RE: Motion to Reconsider the vote on SUMO motion
Bob,
Regarding your parliamentary inquiry, "Is the SUO an assembly or a
standing committee?": Standing Committees are formed by Assemblies to handle
certain matters (such as how the SUO P&P Subgroup was formed by SUO to
handle P&Ps). SUO was chartered by IEEE CS SAB, but not to serve any of
its particular needs. The SUO group originally formed itself and applied to
SAB for the charter (the PAR). SUO established its own scope and purpose,
voting membership rules, and acts very as an Assembly. In response to your
inquiry, SUO is an Assembly.
As such, your motion cannot be acted upon for two reasons:
a. You originally voted NO. Such a motion would need to be
made by a voter from the prevailing side.
b. The SUMO vote was announced on 16 Aug, so the deadline
for a 'motion to reconsider' was 17 Aug. Your motion was made on 18 Aug.
